Ages of characters are at the prologue.

Chapter3: This is Serious

(One Week Later)

Betty was furious. She couldn't believe that Angelica would do such a thing. She continued driving to her job as she thought about everything.

(Flash Back- Five Days Ago)

"It's Phil's baby!" Charlotte cried incredulously, "This is insane!"

"Not from what Lil told me," Betty responded, "the last thing Phil truly remembered was Angelica flirting with him and then she started to pull him towards a room," she recited, "very likely a bedroom," she added darkly, "plus I spoke to Samantha yesterday and she said that Angelica was dared you 'get it on' with Phil."

"This is insane!" Charlotte repeated, "Angelica can't be having Phil's baby!" she cried.

"Who's own is it then?" Betty demanded.

"Honestly it could be a couple people," Charlotte admitted, "Chuckie very likely being the exception," she added.

"Chuckie isn't the type to just throw away his virginity," Betty observed.

"This is awful," Charlotte said shaking her head, "please don't press charges," she begged.

"Well they're both under eighteen," Betty said thoughtfully, "and Phil said that he doesn't want any of it to come out since the Popular kids made sure to keep anyone with any idea what happened to be quiet," she said with a sigh, "speak to your daughter and tell her to stay away from my son," she said firmly.

"And to stay away from my house," Deedee spoke up after being silent for a while, "I can't have someone over here with such loose morals," she continued, "and no I don't care if she's family Charlotte!" she shrieked before Charlotte could protest.

"Worse yet Tommy knows," Betty pointed out, "I can see why he didn't want to talk," she stated, "having a cousin doing something like that to your friend," she said sadly.

"I just can't believe that my Angelica would do this!" Charlotte moaned, "I'll talk to her when she comes home," she said.

"Be sure you do," Deedee said seriously, "seriously Charlotte," she said, "if we weren't related I'd tell her NOT to even look at my boys," she added.

"Bye Charlotte," Betty said as she rose to leave, "I'm going home to check on Phil," she explained, "plus it's dark out."

"You arrived here at Nine in the night," Charlotte almost hissed.

"Well I want to leave, bye," Betty said hurriedly and left.

(End Flashback)

Betty sighed. She knew Angelica could be a monster but she never knew that Angelica could be this evil.

Plus I have to keep an eye on Phil since his depression is getting worse. If it weren't for her being Deedee's niece, I'd punch that girl's lights out! (Betty's thoughts)

(Meanwhile at School)

Angelica wrote down her notes in Literature class quickly. Her mother had been behaving weird lately. Her mother wasn't even acting angry about the baby anymore and that made her afraid. Now her mother kept giving her furtive looks of worry.

Suddenly she felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned to receive a note. She turned around and quickly read it when the teacher was writing on the chalkboard.

You're in big trouble. You'll regret your actions Angelica.

Susie.

Angelica blinked in surprise. She had noticed that Lil, Susie and Tommy were giving her the cold shoulder. She wondered if it was about the party.

But they weren't there. Plus any kid who saw anything will keep quite. One of Samantha's friends told me that already. Since I've not openly left her clique yet they still have a rep to uphold. The only reason I still hang around is to be popular and have access to the most popular girls in my grade. The girls in the clique know that we're no longer friends but it's not been made public knowledge. Plus I know that she's embarrassed that I ended the friendship. But I have my morals and obviously she sold hers to a cheap pawnshop. (Angelica's thoughts)

Class soon ended and Angelica rose to leave with the others.

"We need to talk," Susie said seriously as she came beside Angelica, "we both have a free period right now and Lil and Kimi are in the library," she added.

"What are they doing playing hookey?" Angelica asked sarcastically.

"No their teacher's ill today that one does a two hour class," Susie explained, "and that gives us less than an hour to get to the library and talk to you," she added.

"Whatever," Angelica muttered, "I'd love to know what's been bugging you guys lately," she whispered under her breath as she followed Suzie to the library.

When they entered the library, Susie kept walking until they came to a secluded corner of the library.

"Is this part of the library permanently inactive?" Angelica asked comfortably as she noticed dust and cobwebs that looked like they were there from the day the library was built if not before.

"Hello Angelica," Lil said formally but it held a lot of coldness.

"Hello yourself Ice Princess," Angelica snapped angrily, "now let me sit down and find out exactly what's been making you guys treat me like a leper lately?"

"Did you have sex with Phil?" Kimi asked getting right to the point.

"WHAT!" Angelica shrieked, "WHAT!" she repeated.

"Did you fuck my brother!" Lil exploded angrily.

"Fuck what!" Angelica shouted, "I wouldn't sleep beside Phil much less with him," she spat, "I wouldn't sleep with that kid if I was high on crack!" she cried.

"But Phil said you were flirting with him that night," Susie pointed out.

"Yeah and he was in such a daze from something he drank I made him sit on a bed and asked Z to keep an eye on him," Angelica revealed.

"Z?" Kimi asked, "my boyfriend, Z?" she asked carefully.

"No Z as in the alphabet," Angelica said sarcastically, "of course Z, your boyfriend," she told Kimi, "unless you want to believe that it's Z as in Zorro," she added.

"But that can't be!" Lil cried frantically, "it had to be you!" she continued, "if it's not you then…." she said but stopped and her face grew even paler.

"What did you do?" Susie asked seriously as Lil started to shake.

"What?" Angelica asked, "what's wrong with her?" she asked as her face started to darken.

"I called Chuckie two days go," Lil confessed, "and I told him that you seduced Phil into bed with you and had sex with him while he was intoxicated."

There was a moment of silence and that made the silence seem loud as a siren.

"YOU BITCH!" Angelica blew up and attacked Lil, "I'm going to KILL you!" she shouted as she choked Lil who could barely breath and was now struggling on the floor underneath a murderous Angelica.

"Angelica don't!" Susie cried and along with Kimi's help tried to force the furious Angelica to release her grip on Lil's throat.
